Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Greetings, I am giving these items 3? Because I was offered alternative products that did not fit together. Originally, I intended to purchase a roof rack cargo basket type and a spare tire holder from Yakima manufacturer that go well together, but one of them wasn’t in stock. So, after 3 weeks waiting time, I was offered alternative items via etrailer website, and I accepted them…after all, they are the experts. I got the recommended items through UPS, then I assembled them by myself. The roof rack cargo basket fit well on my car, but the spare tire holder was not compatible with the roof rack cargo basket. They couldn’t be assembled together. I submitted my claim to return the spare tire holder. Now, I have not achieved my goal to carry my spare tire. Understanding the needs and expectations of your customers is critical to maximize customer satisfaction. I am sure both products are good, but they are not compatible together, even though they were manufactured by the same company. Distributors should know better! I returned one item and I hope to be refunded.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
Great product. Great quality. Instructions not real clear, so took me a couple of hours to assemble. Then another 15-20 minutes to secure to roof racks. I was working alone, extra hands would have helped. But extremely happy with quality and looks of product. We have lots of family that visit us, so I plan to carry luggage on the rack to free up space inside the vehicle on trips to and from the airport.
Does what I need it to do. Easy to take on and off as needed. Installed to '21 Outback factory bars. Easily accepted different brand awning hardware.

Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black
Application = 2021 Subaru WRX Base. Perfectly functional, and a great look.
This was a great experience from start to finish. etrailer: After placing the order, I called regarding shipping and quickly got the answer to my question. The box shipped by ground freight, and arrived almost a week before the original scheduled delivery date. The Rhino arrived perfect with protective wrap, and all the required parts. Rhino Rack: This thing is awesome. Unless you jump up into the $1000+ price point, your rooftop carrier options are limited. My two requirements were to fit my skis (181 & 183 cm) and to allow my tailgate to open fully. The Rhino delivered! Bonus that both baby strollers fit as well (Instep baby trailer and Vista Uppababy). Only a week in, but so far the Rhino box and MasterFit clamps seem solid. The ratchet/locking mechanism on the clamps is just ok, you don't have to twist too hard to over power the lock or feel like you are stripping something internally. The hinges are beefy, but don't take up a ton of storage space. It opens from both sides, and you can't remove the key unless it's locked, which is nice for those of us that don't enjoy picking up our stuff on the highway. Also, if you're like me and spent way too much time on mr-box.com, you'll be pleased to know that this thing doesn't look lame. It's pretty sleek, somewhat low profile, with a touch of Euro. It's not too wide, even on the narrow rails of the A4 Allroad there's extra bar space. I could probably squeeze an upright kayak rack, small ski pinchers, or for the ten of us in the world that own RoadShowers...the RoadShower 4 fits no problem. I definitely recommend a Rhino from etrailer.

Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
This is a great car-top carrier. It is light and easy to install and move around. The opening and locking mechanisms also work well. I drove 5 hours with it in the rain and no moisture made it inside. eTrailer was also great when ordering. The freight company lost the first one and eTrailer simply sent me a replacement. Great company to work with.
Great product from a great company I bought this rooftop box for my daughter last year when she moved from Georgia to Oregon. It held well even in ran and snow. This is my second Thule rooftop box. I wish I had bought the first one from etrailer. They have great prices and great customer service.

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
Our SportRack cargo box has worked as hoped / advertised since we bought it over a year ago. What initially attracted me to this particular product was the size and design - it holds A LOT, and the way it opens from the back has helped protect our stuff from getting wet and damaged.
Our family of 4 took two trips with this box. One was a week-long driving/camping trip from Texas to Appalachian Mountains. It has plenty of room for sleeping bags/tent/chairs/misc. We drove about 80 mph on open highway, drove through rainstorms and had no problems. I have a 2013 Toyota 4Runner and needed to buy crossbars that fit my vehicle before installing the box. I learned not to leave loose clothing in the cargo box while driving on the highway. Small clothing can get sucked out of the small sliver of an opening created along the side while driving fast. Now I put towels, dirty clothes in a duffel bag to prevent this. Remember to avoid parking garages!

Amazing box. We added it to our lambo for rallies. Used sea sucker mounts.
Beautiful cargo box , I love the shiny finish

Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier - 9 cu ft - Black
Customer service goes a long way in my book and how an item is presented on its website I've boughten stuff from etrailer before for my prior truck and always had an amazing experience with Etrailer.this is my first cargo box for my new to me Subaru Impreza sport hatchback and doing research on buying one wasn't easy but etrailer made the process quick and painless with exactly what I needed and dimensions were spot on and instructions were perfect couldn't be any more happier with my purchase.the trunx's brand box perfectly compliments my car and looks awesome on it thanks again etrailer you guys rock
Although I just received the Trunx Carrier, and it has been raining almost continuously here, I am impressed with the quality of the product. I still have to drill four new holes to mount the carrier, but you provide on your web site a great video specific to that job. I hope to get it mounted this weekend, and see how long my wife (who does all the driving) allows me to keep it on the van. We won't really use it until mid-April. That etrailer.com made it easy to find a carrier, and videos for our Chrysler 2014 Town and Country Van, gave us a secure feeling about the purchase. I just wish they were located a bit closer to Southern CA. Hope to add photos once it stops raining, and I am able to install the carrier.

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
I love this basket! Once I centered on cross braces, it was easy to leave the connectors in same spot. Also, low enough profile to drive in and out my garage. We have a screen door so that made it a shorter height than traditional garage door.
We were very happy with our Thule roof rack. The low profile design works well and does not have too much wind noise compared to others I’ve had. It’s held up very well also through the seasons.

Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 58" Long x 23" Wide - 165 lbs
Great service fast shipping very easy at etrailer product was exceptional. Easy install with quality products
This is the perfect rack for the 2021-2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness! Very Well Made! Perfect size without the extension, allowing the trunk to be opened without obstruction! My only grievance is the knobs used to “lock” it down. I understand the reasoning of being able to have a tool-less removal, but I think most would prefer to have a bit more security INCLUDED, where the knob system can be used as a “key” then removed leaving just a three sided nut or something unusual that most folks don’t have in their toolkit. As it stands now, anyone can just see the knobs and figure out they can just unscrew and steal your set-up (see supportive pictures). My advice: Be prepared to take the $75 plunge and buy ONE SET of locking brackets. MY thoughts: you can probably get away with one set of two brackets to lock it down. I put mine diagonally, one in front and one in the rear to HELP protect the whole setup. Just my 2 cents! With all that said, this is NO FAULT OF ETRAILER. They provided EXCELLENT Customer service and I received ALL THREE ITEMS ON THE SAME DAY (within 3 days of order) AND IN PERFECT CONDITION! A+++

Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - High Gloss Gray
The cargo box is spacious and appears well constructed. We have not used yet. Installation was straightforward. Item well packaged and arrived in great condition.
Although not used frequently this car-top carrier is solidly built, attractive and very roomy. The mounting method is very solid and easy to install and remove. There was no discernible flow noise at interstate speeds and the box is very stable and rigid. My wife was very pleased that it was virtually a perfect match to the paint color of her Audi. I’m definitely pleased with this purchase.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
This was purchased off of the etrailer.com website as a "damaged" item at a significantly reduced price. The description on the website described the damage very well and the cargo box has no functional issues of any kind. Also, the cargo box arrived much earlier than I anticipated. Furthermore, when I noticed that the box arrived with the load securing straps missing I emailed etrailer customer support and they had Thule send me two new ones right away. Couldn't be more pleased with etrailer and this cargo box. It fits my 2014 Honda CRV with factory crossbars with just a little bit of rear hatch interference (restricts opening by maybe an inch or two, but can still fully use the rear hatch). Can't speak to durability quite yet as I've only used the cargo box a few times to transport skis and snowboard and plan to use it year-round for road trips. A really great, simple cargo box!
The 16 cu ft cargo box fits perfectly on the 2018 Toyota Rav4. Literally takes about 5 minutes, 10min at the most, to set up on the rooftop, and was able to do it without the help of a second person. The box itself weighs very little.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
Very durable basket, and fairly easy to install. It's definitely transformed the look and practicality of our little SUV.
I am very pleased with the quality for the price.Just the right size for my 2017 Chevy Trax.the "U" bolts that are used to clamp the basket to the roof cross bars were a bit long so I cut them shorter & installed rubber caps on top of each stud. This keeps the studs from damaging items in the bssket.See pictures.

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 64-1/2" Long x 39" Wide x 7-1/4" Tall - 150 lbs
I only use the roof rack for vacations because they make cars so small on the interior now a days. It handles quite a bit of luggage. Including two big size luggage and two small is how I travel. Make sure to get water proof covers and good straps. I stopped every 3 hours to make sure load was secure and drove over 700 miles without any issues. The rack will make whistle noise because of the wind passing through the bars but I just toned it out and blasted the radio . The product is great and sturdy easy on and easy off. My only complaint is putting on the wind guard. I couldn’t figure it out because the instructions have poor information on the wind plate. Also it took two deliveries to receive the product due to my first delivery being opened/ repackaged and missing parts like keys. I returned it and got the product in a new package with no more issues. Customer service was very helpful also and communication was well organized. Make sure to order well in advance just incase you might have to send the product back because of packaging issues. Also product is easy to store without disassembly of the rack rails. I put it in my garage and it takes up no space. I hope this review helps someone. Thank you
I love the rack and the extended length is great on my Sequoia. I am disappointed with the finish on it as the connector plates are already showing signs of rust….. I like it enough that I’m going to repaint it with something more suited to our climate…

Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black
Save your money and do not buy this product, it's poorly manufactured to say the least. 1), the plastic gauge is way to thin making the final product to flimsy. 2) while the order information asked me for make, model and year of vehicle it did not match factory rail specifications. The factory roof rack system for Honda CRV is not adjustable and the 22 inch spread identified for product does not work for Honda installed roof rack systems. 3) lastly, the hinge design on this unit is poorly designed and will not align without modifications to bend the tabs so that they properly align with the slots. Once again, do not waste your money on this product.
The roof top box is definitely big enough for my all my family's gear, planning a road trip out West that includes some camping along the way. The plastic was a bit flimsier than I had expected and I was NOT impressed with the PLASTIC clamps around the side. I'm not too worried of the lid flying off if a clamp or two breaks - the front of the box locks and there is a pin in the rear hinge - however, I'm packing extra rope just in case. It also appears that the rivets holding the rails and lock to the container are also made of plastic. I do a lot of camping, I'll likely update my review after putting it through a few runs.

Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Carbonite
I replaced an old Thule box with this. My opinion is that the locking mechanism, the clamping system, and the hinges are superior to the Thule's. Especially the locking mechanism. I used to have to wrestle the Thule box to get things lined up so that I could close and lock the box. And the bonus is that this box was less money (than an equivalent Thule) and eTrailer shipped it for free!
Fit was perfect will be using it for a long time to come it heavy for one person to try and load it up on the vehicle though
What our customers are saying:
"The trailer hitch mounted cargo carrier is an outstanding accessory. It allowed us to bring so much more on vacation. The side rails made securing things really easy and the auxiliary taillight kit plugged right into my plug. The service was so great that I just ordered a trailer hitch cover for the winter. Thanks!"
